SPECIFICATION forming part of Iietters Patent No. 660,404, dated October 23, 1900.

Application filed January 19, 1900. Serial No. 2,066. kllo model.)

T0 all whom it T11/ty concern:

Be it known that I, JEAN BAPTISTE TAUVE- RON, a citizen of France, and a resident of the city of New York, (Bath Beach,) borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Bottle, of which the following isafull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in bottles of the non rellable class, and for which I have received Letters Patent of France under date of June 20, 1899, No. 290,123.

The object of the invention is to provide a bottle of this class that shall be comparatively cheap to manufacture and so arranged that refilling will be practically impossible, thus preventing fraudulent use of the bottle.

I will describe a bottle embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation showing a bottle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side View of a mouthpiece employed. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation showing a modification. Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6 6 of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a side view of a mouthpiece used in this modification, and Fig. 8 is a sec tion on the line 8 8 of Fig. 7.

Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, 1 desportion of which has an interior annular shoulder 2, forming a seat for the float-valve 3. Above the valve-seat portions of the neck are pressed inward to form guide-ribs 4 for. the valve, the space between these ribs serving as ports for the passage of liquid when the bottle is tilted and thev valve moved slightly out of its seat. Arranged in the neck of the bottle and serving as a weight to keep the valve normally in its seat is a ball 5, of

4 glass or other suitable material.

6 is provided at its outer side with an annuc lar channel 10, designed vto register with an annular channel 11, formed in the interior of the bottle-neck, and below the channel 10 of the mouthpiecev an annular shoulder 12 is formed. The flange connecting the shoulder l2 with the channel 10 is provided with a se-4 ries of openings or notches 13, through which cement may pass.

In use after filling the bottle the valve and weight are to be placed in the neck thereof. ThenI after placing a cement in a semiliquid or soft state around the upper portion of the mouthpiece and then a washer 14, of cork or similar material, the mouthpiece is to be forced into the bottle-neck. While forcing the mouthpiece into the bottle-neck the cement will be forced upward through the notches 13, lling the channels 10 and 11 and also filling the space between the shoulder 12 and the washer 14, while said washer is resting on an annular shoulder l5, formed in the bottleneck. Surplus cement passing upward above the end of the bottle-neck may be scraped off, and when the cement becomes hardened the mouthpiece cannot be removed. To discharge liquid from the bottle, it is to be tilted so that the weight 5 will roll against the lower end of the block 7, permitting the valve 3, which is engaged by the weightI 5, as before described. Above the valve-seat the casing is provided with guide-ribs 18, serving the purpose of the ribs 4, as before described. At its upper end the valve-casing has an outwardly-extended ange 19, which engages above an interior annular shoulder 20, formed in the bottle-neck. The mouthpiece 6 has the ports S and the channels 9 arranged in a similar manner to the eX- ample first described; but in this instance the lower end or block 2l is made in the form of an inverted cup to receive the Weight 5, as plainly shown in the drawings. The mouthpiece 6 is provided with the annular channel l0, registering with the channel 12a in the bottleneck, to receive cement, and the operation of inserting this modication of the device is the same as rst described.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentn l. In a bottle, a mouthpiece arranged in the bottle-neck and having at its upper portion an annular channel for registering with a channel formed in the bottle-neck for receiving cement, an annular channel below' the channel of the mouthpiece and communicating therewith through notches through which cement may pass, a block at the lower end of the mouthpiece and having inclined channels communicating with oppositely-inclined ports between the block and upper portion of the mouthpiece, and a valve in the neck below the mouthpiece, substantially as specified.

2. In a bottle, a tubular mouthpiece havinginclined ports registering with oppositelyinclined channels in the periphery of a block at the lower end of and integral with the mouthpiece, a valve-casing into which the lower portionof the mouthpiece extends, a valve in said casing, and a weight for the valve, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
